lsb 4.0-0ubuntu8 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

lsb (4.0-0ubuntu8) lucid; urgency=low
* sendmail, debian/control, debian/rules, debian/lsb-invalid-mta.dirs:
Added new binary package "lsb-invalid-mta" containing a fake
/usr/sbin/sendmail so that the installation of LSB packages does not
pull in an MTA any more, which once adds awkward configuration questions
to the installation process and second adds an often unnneeded daemon to
the system (LP: #141641).
* debian/control: The LSB requires the printing environment already
since version 3.2. Made lsb-printing required by the "lsb" package
not only suggested (LP: #386128).

The Linux Standard Base (http://www.linuxbase.org/) is a standard
core system that third-party applications written for Linux can
depend upon.
.
This package provides an implementation of all modules of version 4.0
of the Linux Standard Base for Debian on the Intel x86, Intel ia64
(Itanium), IBM S390, and PowerPC 32-bit architectures with the Linux

.
This package contains nothing else than a fake /usr/sbin/sendmail
command to fulfill the LSB's requirement of providing this command without
requiring an MTA to get installed, which once introduces a daemon which
can cause security problems and second, users get asked questions about
how they want their MTA configured when in reality they simply wanted to
install a deskltop application or a printer driver, but the dependency on
LSB compliance pulls in an MTA with the installation.
.
The LSB requirement on /usr/sbin/sendmail comes from old times where Linux
and Unix machines had all fixed IPs and did server tasks in data centers.
Today's typical desktop Linux machines do not do local e-mail any more as
users use external e-mail services.
.
The /usr/sbin/sendmail always exits with exit status -1 (255) and sends a
warning message to stderr, so that if a program actually tries to send e-mail
via the sendmail command the user gets note.

While it is intended for use by LSB packages, this command may also
be useful for programmatically distinguishing between a pure Debian
installation and derived distributions.
